    Other than yourself of course. I don't know which direction this thread can take, because it can be hilarious or just morbid and depressing.

    Some things I've heard about:

    This guy would blackout so bad that he would wake up in Mexico. He got drunk enough to catch a plane and go to Acapulco, Tijuana, etc. Happened more than once.


    This lady was always trying to hide alcohol. Her husband cleared the house of it, and thought she was ok. But, he started to notice that she had a blue tongue quite often. Yep, she emptied the windex bottle, added vodka and blue food coloring to it. She also did that with other cleaners.

    To top that off, she poured some in a coiled up watering hose.


    I've also heard of someone hiding it in their washer fluid in the car. Not sure that's even possible or worth it.

    Sad stuff really.

    El Sapo and I thought of the same person. I can't even fathom someone more of a drunk than that guy...

    I heard of this guy that would get so drunk that he would just let himself in to the town jail cell, sleep it off, and let himself out of jail the next morning. Apparantly it happened a lot.

    My boss at my last job. Couldn't walk past his office without smelling old booze.

    Andre the Giant is clearly physically the biggest and possibly the biggest by volume of intake. I've heard stories about his boozing which I'm sure are exaggerated but to earn these stories the reality must have been pretty bad.

    I know a guy who plans to drive all the way to Kansas, then start drinking beer at about 9 a.m. in freezing cold weather outdoors, this Saturday morning.

    I remember seeing Peter O'Toole on Letterman about 15 years ago. He starts it "I was blind drunk in a bar in Dublin"

    story goes on that his friends get his passport from his apartment and get him out to the airport in Dublin (this is obviously in the 60's or 70's) and put him on a plane to London. Other friends meet him there and get a few more drinks in him. He is beyond pissed. They then stick him on another flight.

    He has no recollection of any of this. He remembers having a few pints in Dublin and waking up.......on a beach in Bermuda.

    God that man can tell a story.

    I remember someone posting a story once of someone coming to work in the morning drunk, getting fired for being drunk, going home, coming back in the afternoon and making a story that he was sick and that is why he showed up late....... and then being told that he was there earlier in the day drunk and go home you're still fired.

    Slightly off topic, but did y'all know that Tucker Max idiot has a book on the NY Times Bestsellers list? Unbelievable... Some people would rather read about that jackass than Warren Buffet. [​IMG]

    he always smelled like booze during the day, you know he was drinking in the morning. he said it was because he needed dental work and the booze must be getting stuck in his teeth from the night before

    Halloween of '86 in our west campus apartment party. My roommate pulled up kitchen table into the middle of the living room; dropped his pants and leaked on the carpet thinking he was in the bathroom.

    Sock Monkey, Tucker Max was actually the first person I thought of when I saw the title of this thread. I was so against reading that book, but so glad I did. It's probably the funniest thing I've ever read. I don't think you can actually compare Buffet and Tucker Max and I don't think Tucker would want to. You definitely can't take him seriously.

    The Flower Man is an artist in Houston. He has decorated his house and yard with plastic flowers, toys and junk -- it looks great.

    The idea for it came to him in a DTs vision decades ago. He used to be strung out on fortified wine. It was so bad, he would wake up every morning with his hands balled up into fists so tight he could not straighten them out until he had a drink.

    So how do you drink with no hands? He figured out a way -- every night he would leave himself a bottle of wine next to a dog bowl. In the morning he would tump the wine in the bowl with his head and lick it out until his hands loosened up.

    why didnt he just leave a straw in the bottle? too undignified?

    a friend of mine went to rehab, which involved group sessions. one old timer said whenever he would throw up, he'd make to catch it in his hat so he could re-drink the alcohol.

    Wow. I don't feel so bad about myself now.

    Some of these stories aren't even funny, just depressing.
